Skip to: How to participate in Blogging Against Disablism Day : HTML code for links and banners : Accessibility : Language Amnesty : Leave a Comment
Last year on 1st May, with the invaluable help of Lady Bracknell and with the support of many other bloggers, I hosted the first Blogging Against Disablism Day where almost a hundred and fifty people joined together to write about disability and rail against the discrimination that disabled people continue to face. Both disabled and non-disabled people wrote about all manner of subjects, from discrimination in education and employment, through health care, parenting, family life and relationships, as well as the interaction of disablism with other forms of prejudice.It was a great success, and as early as March this year, folks began to ask about this year's Blogging Against Disablism Day. So here it comes.
I am not very good at rousing calls, so if anyone is in need of one, I shall refer you back to Lady Bracknell's magnificent One in Seven.
How to Participate in Blogging Against Disablism Day
1. Leave a comment below to say you intend to join in. I will then add you to the list of participants on the sidebar of this blog.
2. Spread the word by linking to this site, displaying our banner and/ or telling everyone about it.
3. On Tuesday, May 1st - or as near to as you are able - post something on the subject of Disabilism, Ableism or Disability Discrimination (see Language Amnesty). You can write on any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political, anything which states an objection to the differential treatment of disabled people.
4. Come back to Diary of a Goldfish to let everyone know you've posted and to check out what other people have written.
This year I am also going to ask folks to place their posts in a category (on the day, not in advance) where possible. Last year, Lady Bracknell and myself read every single post on the day and determined which category the link should go under so that the day was archived in a manageable way (as you can see here). That is simply not be doable this year, at least not within any useful timescale after the event.
HTML codes for links and banners
You can copy and paste the following in order to create a link to this post
or you can copy and paste one of the following onto a blog post or sidebar in order to display a banner which links to this post. I'm afraid the banners are my doing, a somewhat rush job and may be subject to some interpretation. If anybody wants to come up with their own design, you are more than welcome.
This is the black and white banner which reads Blogging Against Disablism.This is the colourful banner which reads Blogging Against DisablismEdit: You can also have narrower banners, didn't want to clutter this post up too much (ha!) so I put them here.
Accessibility
Everyone is welcome to join in with Blogging Against Disablism day, disabled and non-disabled, as long as you wish to blog against the discrimination that disabled people experience. Last year, I was rather surprised to have questions from people with mental health impairments who wondered whether their experience counted as disability. Of course it does! My one regret was that I initially turned down a person with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (a condition where a person feels the need or desire to acquire a physical impairment, most commonly an amputation or paralysis). As it was, despite my apprehensions, their contribution was entirely in the spirit of Blogging Against Disablism and so they were included in the final list.
If anybody has any access issues, please speak up. I am not an expert in this area. Alternative blogging formats, such a podcasts or video are more than welcome. If you cannot leave a comment on this blog for any reason, please e-mail me (this is temporary e-mail address and will only exist until Blogging Against Disablism is over this year).
Last year the issue was raised that holding this on one day meant that people who were not able to blog that day for various reasons might be left out. This year, I should take the opportunity to emphasise; if you want to do it before hand so that it's done, or if you are late with your post, I am not going to exclude you from the final list. Obviously, it would be good to have as many posts as possible on 1st May, that's the point, but so long as you do it thereabouts, that's fine.
Language Amnesty
The language we use around disability and discrimination varies widely, and talking about language is a very important part of understanding the way that disabled people are perceived by society. Language is a completely legitimate subject for discussion on Blogging Against Disablism day, but I do ask that we allow other people to use the language which they feel most comfortable with. Differences may include the way that disabled people are described; as disabled people, people with disabilities, the disabled, etc.; as well as the very word for the discrimination we experience.
Ableism or Ablism is the term more commonly used in the United States and thus more prevalent on the Internet as a whole. Then there's the simple and perhaps most easily understood term of Disability Discrimination. I am using Disablism because that makes sense to me in the context of my own disability politics; that is to say that I happen to think it is a better term. However, given the breadth and depth of the issues we are facing, I don't wish to argue this too strongly.
If you would prefer to use Ableism or Disability Discrimination, please do so. If there is an interest, I can even create extra banners for this purpose.
Right, is there anything I missed?
Consider me in. And the logo is great, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you and congratulations for being the first to sign up! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat logo, looks very professional. Thank you very much for hosting the Blogging-Against-Disablism-Day once again.
ReplyDeleteI would like to participate and write a contribution.
Me too - thanks for organising this - has it really been a year ?!?
ReplyDeletei like the logo too. Oh, and Sign me up!! I'll advertise it on my blog too. The more the merrier i think!

yes, i don't know what came over me being at my computer at so early an hour. Must be this newfound zest for life coming from somewhere :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Naturally.
ReplyDeleteYES!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in.
WCD
I'm in and I'll post about this on my blog later. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHas Lady Bracknell's esteemed friend perhaps omitted to include a list of the categories under which contributors are asked to label their posts...?
ReplyDeleteWhilst regrettably not sufficiently fit to assist with the actual administration of this year's event, Lady Bracknell will most definitely be contributing a post to it.
Lady Bracknell regrets to report that this year's banner is too wide for the sidebar of her blog :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone so far.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure whether to give people the catergories now, as it isn't necessary to worry about it until reporting back here on the day - and what I would certainly wish to avoid doing is to make folks feel they had to fit neatly into one of those categories. I was kind of hoping folks would write whatever they liked and then pinpoint the category they felt it most closely fitted...
Apologies for the size of the danner. I shall make a smaller one especially for you! (The wording becomes obscured if it shrinks to your 150 pixel sidebar).
but of course...i'll be there.
ReplyDeleteI have now made some narrower banners for her Ladyship's sidebar (or anyone else's come to that). I have put them here
ReplyDeleteI replied the the "More Banners" post by accident--but count Disability Studies, Temple U. in, and thanks for organizing this again this year.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, please. Have you got a category "Anger"?
ReplyDeletein, and glad you're allowing us to post late/early this time -- so this year I can make it!
ReplyDeleteI'll blog again this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm in - like the logo!
ReplyDeletesign me up. I've got the banner up in a separate post, because I am selectively braindead about how to put the banner into a Wordpress sidebar, but I'll keep the post up until after May 1
ReplyDeleteI am in.Any thing to help get the word out.
ReplyDeleteI'm in also. I'll start spreading the word as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteCount me in.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant idea. I missed last year's event but shall follow this year's avidly.
ReplyDeleteAnd consider me in. It may not be me doing the blogging though, but my other half. Exciting!
Bobby McGee from Wise Words From The Cynic is in, too.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.purple-anger.org
is Blind Accessible, too, if you're blind. I have a text only version:

I'm so excited to hear this is going to happen again! I've been thinking about my next Disabilism post since last May! We're in at Jenelle's Journey!
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific idea. Those who are currently "fully abled" should keep in mind that that is most likely a temporary condition, at best.
ReplyDeletePeace, Liz
I have no idea what I'm going to say, but I'm in -> Last year's posts were amazing!
ReplyDeleteCount me in, please.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! You're going on my blogroll and I will do some articles on my site for you!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,

I'll be there (oh no, that song's going to be stuck in my head now) and posting under http://www.smiffysplace.com/against-disablism
ReplyDeleteLove the new logo. (I never did work out what the old one was.)
I'm in, of course!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't blogging this time last year, so this will be my first BADD.

ReplyDeleteCount me in. What a fabulous project.
ReplyDeleteI'm in - if energy and coherence permit. ;-)
ReplyDeletePlease count me in!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join. Wanted to last year, but got busy.
ReplyDeleteI'm on it! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. (Be afraid).
ReplyDeleteRe the category list: I suggest you publish it now so folks can see what you are thinking and ask/suggest if they think the list needs tweaking.
I'm a bit slow when it comes to this blogging lark. Obviously not been doing it long enough. So I added the graphic but forgot to mention that, yes, I will be talking part. Or even taking part. Right.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd like to join in too. By May 1st do you mean English time? Should I therefore blog on May 2nd as I am in Australia?
ReplyDeleteI want to do this too
ReplyDeletePlease add me to your list of contributors.
ReplyDeleteI blog about ADHD and Learning Disabilities, as well as general disability issues.
WARNING: I'm going to get long-winded (again). Skip to the end for the gist, if you don't have time and/or patience for all the rest.
ReplyDeleteI had to really think about whether I would do this or not. Not only am I ridiculously overextended for someone who doesn't even have a job to go to every day, but I have a hang-up about "blog against" days, kind of the way I had a hang-up about Yom Kippur when I was a practicing Jew. Why just one day a year, I wondered back when I was a Jewish child? Why not atone right when you realize you've F'ed up and strive every day to be a better person? Similarly, aren't all my posts blogging against disablism by their very nature? Well, aren't they? Besides, who cares what I'm against; doesn't what I'm for really matter more in the long run? And again, doesn't what I'm for really count as being against disablism fundamentally?
And then there's the whole question of whether I myself am disablist since I have a hard time even seeing myself as disabled to begin with and may not really know what any of this means.
Then it occurred to me that perhaps I should put all this -- and all the other stuff that's started boiling around in my head since I read this -- in a Blogging Against Disablism Day post. So please count me in (at Moving Right Along), if you'll have me. If you're going with some sort of scheme of categories, perhaps my best spot would be under "confusion and ignorance."
On the other hand, maybe I'll be able to think of something less tortured, more specific, and more interesting to say by May 1. It could happen.
Sara, he he. I tried to compose a reply but ended up with shifting religious analogies from Judaism to Catholicism and it all got a bit messy.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, hope you can join us and whilst I hate to blatantly recommend my own writing, can I blatantly recommend what I wrote for last year's Blogging Against Disablism Day.
Anissa, really it's not that strict, so post on May 1st when it is May 1st wherever you are. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blatant recommendation! :) Yes, it did help clarify my thinking. In many ways, I go through a lot of the same stuff; but for me it's more that I worry about taking away from people who really need help, or that I fear over-dramatizing a personal situation which is really proving not to be all that dramatic, just incredibly annoying. But then I think about a certain Commissioner in Missouri and am dead certain I know what disablism is. And then I wonder how much of that I feel like fighting on a personal level, and then I worry how much of that could be perceived as some kind of cultural appropriation since I don't really feel all that disabled, but then I argue with myself that it's about having a complete, inclusive society that embraces diverse humanity, which is everybody's business.
ReplyDeleteBut I need to stop talking about this here and put it into notes for May 1, don't I? Sorry.
I will just say that my oncologist is fond of telling me I am not the first person to travel down the road I'm on. I always find this comforting because it means I don't have to invent everything from scratch as I go. And then I feel guilty for feeling comforted because other people have suffered, and probably a lot more than I have because somewhere along the line at least one of them did have to invent everything from scratch as s/he went.
(sigh)
The point is, nothing new under the sun, and I agree that whatever banner we fly over the conversation, it really is best we talk about these things. Thanks for your thoughts, and thanks for organizing the event.
I would like to sign up too.
ReplyDeleteHi. This is GREAT. I am in too. I think this is so important to raise awareness. Thank you for organizing this!

I would like to blog about having mental health problems as a result of being visually impaired if that is appropriate. I will probably mention employment, education and social issues. Many people believe that you can either see or you are blind and do not realise that you can be incurably partially sighted.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if you get this twice, but count me in :) (Computers seem to be against me today.

Doh! As I'm not really up on blogging I thought that I'd just be able to leave a post and that I didn't actually have to have a blog of my own! I don't have a web page of my own. No matter though. How long does it take to set up a blog and where can I get it hosted? If I can get one set up for May 1st then I will. It could be my first post lol.
ReplyDeleteI would like to join in and write about how my daughter's food allergies are being addressed by our school district. Does that qualify?
ReplyDeleteWell I decided not to contribute, then Beep beep set me off considering all the adventures which we have had keeping mobile over the years and I guess I got carried away and maybe there is some examples of how discrimination causes a few apparent problems.

ReplyDeleteA friend of mine pointed me in this direction. She has one kind of disability; my son has a completely different kind. I'll be happy to comment. I'll have it on my "regular" blog, though (different than the one connected to this blog ID) at windsornot.livejournal.com. Or maybe I'll just write something at both this blog (windsornot.blogspot.com) as well as the other in some way. The more the message is out, the better, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
I'm kind of new to all of this, but I'm in if you'll have me.
ReplyDeleteI intend to join blogging against disablism. However, I am doing it in a slightly different way. I am going to do a post highlighting individuals who have triumphed despite disability and discrimination. I am going to tell a little of my own story and those of three or four corageous individuals I followed online. I believe achieving (no matter how small the achievement) despite naysayers is the best way to counteract disablism.
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
